im not totally familiar with young dustin hoffman. but my mom was telling me that in his old mrs. robinson days he looked a lot like our hottie HIC! but not as hot and short and tiny. she was saying that she thought that "Desmond" was better looking but resembled a young dustin hoffman very much. so i have to say you guys are probably right. i myself, only saw the graduate once though.

i think the resemblance between the two is striking, mostly when Henry is clean shaven. they could be brothers.

Does anyone think that he looks like Steve Perry from Journey?

Dustin Hoffman WISHES he looked like Desmond Hume (Hey, same initials-DH)

No question it's eddie vedder.

No, I think he looks like Jesus!

I thought this the first time I saw him in Lost. Looked almost identical to Hoffman in All The Presidents Men

"You all have it wrong.
Take a look at a picture of Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and compare it to Cusick's charecter in lost.
The resemblence is striking."
With the last couple episodes of Lost, that is the exact same resemblence I saw.

You all have it wrong.
Take a look at a picture of Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and compare it to Cusick's charecter in lost.
The resemblence is striking.

I seem to be alone in this camp of thought, but in the episode orientation at least his slightly panicked and off balance, crazy-eyed look made me do a double take because of his resemblance to Judd Nelson in Breakfast Club.

I think you mean "a prettier Hoffman"lol

I do agree about him looking like Hoffman.
A more effeminate Hoffman though. No offense to Cusick.

Yes, he does look like Dustin Hoffman, but he sounds more like Johnny Depp

I can totally see the resemblance to Dustin Hoffman, now that you all bring it up.
I also agree that HIC is waaaaaaaayyyy cuter than Hoffman is or ever was (when he was younger.)
Heyyyyy, what about a remake of The Graduate with HIC and hmmmmmm, who would be good as Mrs. Robinson opposite him ? LOL LOL (Just kidding, HIC is a bit too old for the role, but mayyyyybe he could still pull it off after all, we'd all be rooting for him and he's young in our lusty eyes)

i'm watching Hero on TV right now, and when dustin hoffman came on the screen at first i seriously thought "waithenry ian cusick isn't in this movie!"
yay

Okay, I read the title of this thread and laughed. I thought someone meant Hoffman from the Saw movies and I thought, what is this person smoking? Just funny, but, yes, I think this guy is cute, and I do see a resemblance to a young Dustin Hoffman. I just got a bad impression of him in the two Special Victims Unit episodes.

They've actually appeared together on stage in the UK.
